vladimir putin -- those were local self-defense units. those were local self-defense units. question -- how well trained are they if we compare them to the self-defense units in kiev? vladimir putin -- my dear colleague, look how well trained the people who operate in kiev were. as we all know, they were trained at special bases in neighboring states, in lithuania, poland and in ukraine itself, too. they were trained by instructors for extended periods. they were divided into dozens and hundreds. their actions were coordinated. they had good communication systems. it was all like clock work. did you see them in action? they looked very professional, like special forces. why do you think those in crimea should be any worse? in that case, can i specify it? did we take part in training crimean self-defense forces? vladimir putin -- no, we did not. and this is the same guy that the president of the united states pushed the reset button time and again with. this is the same guy that we can work with vladimir putin and my colleague from -- and former member of this body on friday,

look, if you were to take this vast, complex subject of defense strategy and defense budget and boil it all down in to a bumper sticker, it would be, no more land wars in far off lands. that's what the president is determined with this budget. >> schieffer: well, danielle, what about that. there does seem to be a perception in some parts of the world that the united states is stepping back. >> i think there is perception at this table that the united states is stepping back not just some parts of the world. look, one of the reasons that you have large and capable and multi-faceted military not to fight, it's so you don't have to fight. that deterrent power is being diminished substantially. i'm hearing from inside the pentagon that we're going down to numbers as low as 380,000 after the 450,000. these are numbers that will make it impossible for us to engage not just in large scale wars in one place but in small case conflicts. people like vladimir putin know it. that the why it's so important for us at the end of the day on previous conversation to ensure that things don't escalate

we have now spoken to someone from the ministry of defense. they say let's not put too much weight on this. frankly, every time that the russian troops have encircled military bases and they have now around ten, they have given some kind of an ultimatum. he said this is just another one of those. frankly, these ultimatums have passed and nothing has really happened. so i think it is important not to put too much weight on this deadli deadline. it is not necessarily an official deadline. from what we have seen, they have been very calm. it has been a very low key kind of invasion. ben wedeman our own ben wedeman was just at one of the border post bases. he said that the soldiers there, one commander told him he got his orders to leave his base at the black sea fleet on saturday. he had come up there. the locals were giving him tea and letting him have a place to have showers. so it has all been very amicable. as i said, a pretty low-key invasion. the situation on the ground here is very, very calm. it seems to be the international community and
